    Watchdog AA, in case you missed it

    Watched this. It was nice to see him squirm a bit, but I think he did well and held his composure. Takes the mick when people pay subs but can't get the service. If average customer pays £15/month then they would be better putting it into a saving account and using a RGI for fixes as and when...

    After tax, NI etc that is 30,000 = £125/day so thanks for proving my point and he is 48 years old therefore after 20 years experience! You can often judge people by the company they keep :mrgreen: Only joking! If I felt like that I'd just wait for the Warmfront scheme, or take him to the...

    Boiler replacement advice Vaillant or Potterton

    Unfortunately that is the exact reason why we have to poach doctors and pharmacist from 3rd world countries, because people think what is the point of going to uni for 5 yrs with 5 yrs of debt and then earning £75 a day as a starting salary after tax, much better to do a bit of plumbing and get...

    Boiler replacement advice Vaillant or Potterton

    Tony About the install price. I haven't hustled any of the RGI. I have asked for a few quotes and like I said before 4 said £250, one of them lives in my town and has been installing boilers for 20 years. How good he is I don't know I must admit. Another said £325 + material and some were in...

    Boiler replacement advice Vaillant or Potterton

    I think £250 tax free is a fair price for 1-1.5 days work. What do you think is fair? I think that is very generous, it's more than I get for a 1-1.5 days. Doctors/pharmacists/opticians get £125/day with all the responsibility they have. Do you deserve more than them? I will read up on the...

    Boiler replacement advice Vaillant or Potterton

    Vaillant is not an option anymore as my fathers budget limits the boiler to max of around £700 so it has to be either potterton, biasi, or the pro combi. If anyone can give me any advice on which to choose between these three I would appreciate it.
